Grabbing my Flexable Flyer with the rope my Dad tied to it and heading to the park with the guys. We used to stop at Atlantic Avenue after hitting the "hump" at the baseball fields. If a bus came by it was fair game for snowballs. Ah, the days. Friends, family and great times. I miss it. |

In 1946 - when I was 2 years old - my parents, Frank and Elizabeth bought 109 Shepherd Avenue; Rick and Chris were born over the next several years. Mom and Dad sold the house around 1972. We have some old family photographs that we will hopefully send soon. |

I'll be looking for information on your book to be published soon. By the way, the green background on your site makes it very, very hard to read - how about a plain background or something lighter? |

Unfortunately during the years I was living on Shepherd Ave (early to mid 1960's) . I didn't have a sled otherwise I'd have been there too. But I remember seeing lots of kids sledding down that hill and wishing I had a sled, it looked like fun. It seemed like back then the winter was always cold and there was always plenty of snow. These days I live up in Westchester and it seems rare that we get any snow. And when we do I hardly see any kids sledding anymore. Kids these days don't seem interested. |
